REVIEW:
"Jon Batson sings his songs on his new live CD as naturally as he would sing them to you in his den. Suddenly the room is filled with interesting characters, possibly the most fascinating being "Junior." His songs are clever, articulate and concise. And Randy Tobin does a stellar job
delivering great sound, as always."
- Harriet Schock, Platinum Selling Songwriter

ABOUT JON

"There are songwriters, and there are great songwriters, and Jon Batson fits into the second category. He has vocals that make you melt and lyrics that are heartfelt and touch
the human soul" - gilli moon, International Recording Artist

Known for his witty ability to get a point across, Jon has entertained audiences with his songs in the US and Europe since the 60's.

Currently headquartered in Raleigh,NC, he began his career in his home city of Washington, DC, where rode the wave of coffee houses on the East Coast playing guitar and singing folk songs. He paddled through the Disco years by touring the Western states singing Country favorites and studying the great songwriters on the way.

He has sung before the Kennedy family, performed at the prestigious Arts Club of Washington and was televised nation-wide from the National Cathedral as part of a special presentation of "Four Plays on Race" by Malcolm Boyd. His musical travels have taken him to Spain, Portugal and China, where he performed before the Vice-Premier and did a special performance on the Great Wall itself.

In addition to performing live he has had five original stage musicals produced and a string of album and CD releases. His first album is collectable in many countries.

Jon wrote and recorded the official song for San Jacinto, California and his specialty material has appeared on The Tonight Show, Make Me Laugh, Midnight Special and Murder She Wrote.

"Jon's songs are a good mix of humor with simple stories in an easygoing Country style, stirred well with a bit of Folk, a little Pop, a dash of Blues, and a pinch of Ragtime." - Victor Gutierrez, Promoter

The wisdom imparted to him by Oscar Brown Jr., "To sing your own song and make it something people would enjoy" are the words he lives by.

Jon's music is available on tape, CD and vinyl. His Book, The Songwriter's Hook Book is available here at CD Baby. His mystery adventure novel, Tiburón and other books and stories are available at www.lulu.com/jonbatson.
